However, after all was said and done in this particular plane saga, it turns out things weren't so dramatic. There actually wasn't a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 aboard the plane. Someone just thought it'd be a good idea to name their Wi-Fi that and, you know, just stir the pot a bit. Still, subsequent flights were reportedly delayed nonetheless.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we found the device. Luckily only the name of the device was changed to 'Galaxy Note 7'. It was not a GN7."

The U.S. Department of Transportation called for an emergency ban on Samsung Galaxy Note 7s on all U.S. planes in October — a restriction also supported by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

Mashable has reached out to Virgin America for more information about this specific incident.

There's been a lot of plane drama lately, from someone reportedly yelling at Ivanka Trump aboard a JetBlue flight Thursday to the forced removal of YouTuber Adam Salah from a Delta flight Wednesday, in a situation he called discriminatory. Saleh said he was targeted for speaking Arabic, while Delta insisted that he and his friend were "disruptive" and showing "provocative behavior."
